Indian child rights activist Kailash Sat-
yarthi has been awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize for his campaign for the rights of
children and young people.
He was honoured along with Pakistani
activist Malala Yousafzai. The official Web
site of the Nobel Prize said they were cho-
sen "for their struggle against the sup-
pression of children and young people
and for the right of all children to edu-
cation."
Satyarthi, who turned 60 in January,
has long campaigned against child labour
and rescued children from servitude. His
efforts have seen tens of thousands of
children rescued from hazardous industries
and rehabilitated.
Satyarthi, who says his mission is to
"wipe away the blot of human slavery,"
has often staged dangerous and daring
dawn raids on factories---sometimes
manned by armed guards---which
employed children.
Culprit companies, he said, included
carpet makers, diamond miners and even
firms that made footballs.
For his work, he has endured death
threats and attempts at incarceration, and
two of his colleagues were even murdered
on the job. But he continues with his cam-
paign because, he says, "somebody has
to accept the challenge whatever dangers
are there."
It was nearly 30 years ago that he left
a promising career as an electrical engineer
to set up Bachpan Bachao Andolan (Save
Childhood Movement) and since then, by
his own count, he has rescued more than
80,000 children.
He also heads the Global March Against
Child Labour, which represents about
2,000 social groups and union organisa-
tions in 140 countries.
His campaigns over the years have
ensured that India s carpet industry has
stopped using child labour.
He also successfully led a movement to
bring in a new law in 2012 to make
employment of children under the age of
14 illegal---a law he considers his big
achievement.
But India still has millions of child
labourers---official estimates put the num-
ber at five million; Satyarthi says it is as
high as 60 million.
Many parents say poverty forces them
to send their young children to work, while
campaigners say child servitude is a reality
in India and that it will continue.
But Satyarthi has described that point
of view as "absolutely pessimistic."
"We must all be totally against child
labour. I want to see in my lifetime that
there is no child slavery in the world," he
told the BBC in an earlier interview.
The Nobel Committee made clear that
this was why he was selected.
"Showing great personal courage,
Kailash Satyarthi, maintaining Gandhi s
tradition, has headed various forms of
protests and demonstrations, all peaceful,
focusing on the grave exploitation of chil-
dren for financial gain." (BBC)
This weekend, Queen s Hall will be graced by
the presence of renowned Arti Natu, one of the
finest Bharatnatyam (a classical Indian dance form
said to be originated in the temples of Tamil Nadu)
dancers of today, in a show entitled Shaktiyana -
the Primordial Energy (a Classical Indian Dance
Ballet).
The show, which is being held today and tomorrow
at 6 pm is being done by the Nrityanjali Theatre,
in collaboration with the Mahatma Gandhi Institute
of Cultural Co-operation. The theatre will also col-
laborate with renowned musicians Prashant Patasar,
Sharda Patasar, Surja Chakravorty and Nagashwer
Lal Karan.
The highlight of the evenings, Natu, has managed
to mesmerise audiences throughout India and abroad.
Her performances have been widely acclaimed by
audiences and critics alike. Apart from her formal
training in Dance, she also holds a Master of Music
degree and is currently enrolled for a PhD under
the guidance of Guru Dr Chetana Jyotishi Beohar,
Director Kathak Kendra, New Delhi.
So what is behind the name of the event? Accord-
ing to its organisers, "The concept of the Goddess
or Divine Feminine has existed in various cultures
throughout human history. In the Hindu pantheon,
she is the embodiment of feminine and creative
energy or shakti ." One of the main forms of the
Goddess Shakti is the Hindu goddess Durga or
Chandi. This mighty Goddess tears apart all negative
thoughts which arise in the human mind which is
generated by the Ego. Images of the goddess may
show her holding an "asura" or demon.
This demon (who has become the master of the
world and everyone else his slave) symbolises the
ego. The Great Ego is accompanied by his mighty
soldiers---Devoid of Clear Understanding, Hypocrisy,
Want of Resolution, Memories and other demons
Fearless crusader for child rights
awarded Nobel Peace Prize
who prevent the divinity from shining from within.
Self-conceit and Self-deprecation are the two war-
riors that inspire selfishness within all. The event
Shaktiyana -- The Primordial Energy will bring this
philosophy to life through the timeless tradition of
a classical dance drama.
